You can now build sites “From AI”✨
As InstaWP focuses on optimizing and supercharging your workflow, it was impossible for us not to consider AI-enabled development. In fact, we want our users to be the frontrunners embracing AI.
Guess what? After weeks of hard work integrating Kadence AI into InstaWP, we’re thrilled to announce that you can now build sites even faster.
Just create a Staging Site using Kadence AI from the ‘From AI’ tab, and let us know how it goes!
Note: We are in talks with a few more AI builders too.
